3. Re: Goldfields death [1]
Many thanks to all for your responses to my query. Thanks to Ron and Peter for your emails, which have introduced some interesting thoughts. Re the newspaper morgue, I am aware that the newspapers in the area seem to have commenced from 1853, and was hoping someone might have known of some older newspaper for the area. I also wondered about Coroner's records. So what happenned to others who died before official records were kept - is there somewhere to access for those - I believe Police Gazette starte

5. Re: GOLIVER - Fryerstown area. [1]
Maybe the accent depends on whether Gallagher is pronounced Galla-her or Gallag-her. I've heard both variations; and Goliver is not so far removed from Gallag-her. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Jungwirth" To: Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 2:26 PM Subject: Re: GOLIVER - Fryerstown area. snip- > > > now maybe somebody here would like to help us understand what sort of > heavy > accent or poor hearing would enable a clerk t

After going thru the web site, for assisted imm. is there a web page I could go to, to find out "who assisted, and why?" Or do I have to order a copy of the page or Book? Thanks Tom for this link.

Dear Listers! Please read my posting and to all you who are hell bent on shooting me down get over it! FIRST - I WAS EXPRESSING AN OPINION that I thought may have assisted the Lister and I was NOT making a statement. But it seems the many Listers both On List and Off have seen this as an open invitation to make it personal. By all means express a contrary view but to the person who asked the question not the one that took the trouble to give a view point especially when that person is right as indee

Dear Graham Thank you for your comment but you only saw the On-List messages not the half dozen kind souls that sent Off List Messages including one that said quote "hate to shoot you down". Yes you could say I'm a bit ticked off when trying to help all you get is smart-alecky comments like yours! My ego isn't bruised mate only my disappointment in my fellow listers making it personal and I have never been one to take personal comments laying down.

12. RE: Macedon Village Settlement [1]
Dear Heather As well as the woodend FHS there is one in Gisborne with a lot of information relating to Macedon. They were very helpful to me some years back and provided rate notices and maps for my Gisborne families (CHERRY, THOMPSON & HASSALL) who were there in the 1850's. A beautiful part of the world - I lived on Mt Macedon with my family in the 50's and 60's. Best of luck with your search Rosemary Meadows (Brisbane)

14. Engine Driver [1]
My grandfather as a young was an engine driver at Madame Berry Mines near Creswick,.My sisters who remember him well said he got all of his training "on the job." After he married he worked at Wandiligong as a dredge master at Growlers Creek. He later worked in the Malay States as an engine driver on the dredges looking for silver. I believe a number of Australians worked there until the 1930's. Dianne Hughes
15. Beaufort/Waterloo Cemeteries [1]
One of my husband's relatives, according to his death certificate is buried in the Waterloo Cemetery. However he appears on the Consolidated Ballarat Cemetery List as being buried at Beaufort. Could SKS please enlighten me as to whether these two cemeteries are the same one or are there two separate cemeteries. Many thanks. Sandra (Tasmania)

Hello Everyone I have just started researching my Eames branch and would love to hear from anyone who may be able to shed light on this for me. I am trying to find out if the William Henry Eames b 1865 in Sandhurst to William Eames and Elizabeth Evans is the same William Henry Eames who married Mary Ramsay in Deniliquin in 1891. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kerrie Stewart
17. William Phillip Bowman [1]
Hi listers, I'm new to the list and am trying to find some information on my g-grandfather William Phillip Bowman. On his children's birth certificates he states he was born in Sandhurst/Bendigo in 1861 though I haven't found any trace. He married Margaret King in Ivanhoe in 1888. His marriage certificate doesn't list his parents names. The family settled in the Riverina district. He and Margaret separated around 1920 and it's believed William headed back to Victoria. On Margaret's death in 1945 it

Governor Gipps was shown some gold and said, " Put it away Mr. Clarke or we will all have out throats cut"! I was unaware that gold searching was illegal but it was certainly discouraged in the 1840s for the reason that happened:the huge surge of immigrants who flocked to the goldfields.!

22. RE: Macedon Village Settlement [1]
Thanks Tom & Ada for your responses to my query. I am sorry I didn't mention the dates. The land was granted around 1900, and my g grandfather was Daniel MacDonald. We have so far looked at the rates books at WHS & that is all. The map I got from Titles Office was Macedon, County of Bourke. The Woodend rates books say West Riding. We found reference to the property with my ggrandfather as the occupying tenant, Gov of Vic as the owner. The property was listed as cottage & land, NAV 4 pounds, and the fir
23. RE: Egerton and Gordon - lookups available [1]
Thanks Tracy. I have ancestors, Donald & Marion McDonald who both lived and died in the Egerton area and are buried in Mt Egerton cemetery (no headstone these days if ever) Marion died in a house fire at All Nations Gully and was subject to an inquest. Donald we believe worked at McPhersons Station. Anything you can find would be very helpful.

24. Re: GOLIVER - Fryerstown area [1]
Hi, May I ask - have you tried Glover, Gulliver, Gulifer etc as variations? Also - there were plenty of births in Victoria in the years 'round 1846 - the Vic pioneers index suggests about 2500 births in 1846!! Catherine's marriage at the age of 37 seems a little odd ... any chance she may have been married to somebody else before marrying Parker? Did Catherine and Henry have children?? I can't find any children born to Cath and Henry in the pioneer indexes... so what other info do you have? good luc

hi Follks, Robericia wrote that Goliver might in reality be Gallaher, and asks "now maybe somebody here would like to help us understand what sort of heavy accent or poor hearing would enable a clerk to write Goliver instead of Gallagher?"
